Then you need to give up the idea of flying now. Don't waste any more of your time. Airparks aren't the only place where animals get on the runway and I've seen deer on a Class C airport's runway and the only reason I haven't seen them on a Class B is that I don't fly into them that often. |

Ah what's the matter, you don't like people posting your own crap for everyone to see what a bunch of lies you are trying to put over on them? Sorry but I don't have any intention of going away. I might however repost some of your other lies for everyone to see. |

He nothing more than a wannabe pilot and based on some of his posts in other threads, I am not sure he even is a wannabe. I reposted a couple of his posts from other threads and it proves that he is not a pilot and from what I can gather as of Feb.28, he hasn't even started with any flight training. He is not a pilot and probably never will be. |

Pitot tube adjustment was Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path?
"Gig 601XL Builder" wrote in message ... Highflyer wrote: "cavelamb himself" wrote in message ... All it takes is a little collar on the pitot tube (and a bit of tweaking the position) That is how we calibrate the airspeed indicator to get it reading with reasonable accuracy. Old CG himself taught me that one. :-) Of course, nowadays, you have to tweak the GPS also! Anybody have photos of such a collar? Or able to give a good description? Put an o-ring over the static tube. Adjust its distance from the static holes in the side of the tube to adjust the static pressure reference for your airspeed indicator. It also adjusts the static pressure reference for the altimeter, which usually uses the same static port. It doesn't work for the new airplanes th at pick up their static pressure through a port on the side of the fuselage. :-) Highflyer Highflight Aviation Services rec.aviation.homebuilt annual flyin coming up May 16, 17, and 18. See the faq at http://www.ousterhout.net/pjy-faq.html and send Mary a note at so she knows how many groceries to get. |

Not to mention all those pesky birds that we are forced to share the sky with. I had an much too close encounter with a buzzard in a 172 once. It resulted in replacing one wing and a soiled seat(g). I have photos of a twin that was struck in the windshield and tore a two foot wide section out of the fuselage almost the length of the cabin. If you are looking for "Risk Free", stay in bed. |
